It's not just a visual display but an immersive experience as each frame intertwines with silence, creating a symphony of artistic brilliance.As the narrative progresses, the images transition from celestial bodies like the Sun to our Earth, capturing moments of nature and hinting at human existence through evocative scenes of woods and what appears to be a nude woman giving birth. Each frame conveys movement through time, making you question your place in this universe.
